Impact of COVID-19 on U.S. and Canadian neurologists’ therapeutic approach to multiple sclerosis: a survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices	2020-07-07		.txt	text/plain	4232	207	51	The overall objectives of this study were threefold: (1) to report the range of impacts of COVID-19 on neuroimmunologists' practice across the USA and Canada; (2) to probe the MS DMT prescribing decisions and planning of neuroimmunologists in the setting of a viral pandemic; and (3) determine the unmet needs and sources of uncertainty that dominate the care of MS patients. Rather than emphasizing fact checking, the survey queried awareness of local COVID-19 cases and patients' health practices, impressions and worries on the risk of COVID-19 to patients taking MS DMTs, and prescribing patterns in various special situations, naming the exact DMTs. As an example, issues related to older patients with MS were queried, defined as age 55 years and older (given the usual age cutoff for most DMT trials to date) or 60 years and older (given the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's general consideration of people aged 60 years and older as a higher risk group) [11] , depending on the question.	./cache/cord-320755-0zpnwl2k.txt	./txt/cord-320755-0zpnwl2k.txt
